Ray’s Food Place is bringing customers another outstanding holiday themed promotion for the holidays. Ray’s Gift-Away gives Ray’s Food Place customers the opportunity to win certificates good for free groceries both in-store and online at raysgiftaway.com.

Starting today, Ray’s Food Place customers will automatically have the opportunity to win one of several great prizes when they spend twenty-five dollar or more in groceries. From a $1 off Next Shopping Order Voucher to a $50 Ray’s Food Place gift card, over $300,000 will be given away to Ray’s customers over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays.

Customers can also go online daily at raysgiftaway.com and enter to win free groceries for a month –a $500 value. Five winners will be drawn weekly though December 25th, 2011. The popular “tell-a-friend” email feature will again be included as well as a new opportunity for customers to use their Facebook account to share the promotion with their friends on the popular social networking site.

“Key to the success of this program is how we can engage our consumers where they are, not where we want them to be” explained Alan Nidiffer, vice president of C&K Market, Inc, parent company of Ray’s Food Place. “By reaching out to customer both in-store and online, we are targeting two high use areas and offering customers opportunities to win incentives they can use over the holidays inside the store.”

Ray’s has been offering a holiday themed promotion for several years, engaging consumers, employees and suppliers in the holiday experience through the promotion. This year’s promotion will again offer a large bundle of prizes and simple ways to play.
